A Palestinian woman armed with a knife has been arrested by officers in the West Bank city of Hebron, police say.

According to a Border Police spokesperson, the woman, a resident of Hebron, was stopped as she approached a checkpoint at an entrance to the Tomb of the Patriarchs, known to Muslims as the al-Ibrahimi Mosque.

“The suspect was arrested by the troops after she took out a knife from the bag she was carrying,” the spokesman says.

Police say she has been taken for questioning.
